Yes, we have meaningful pennant races again, some that was lost over the last generation. (Unfortunately, we'll probably have November baseball, too)

Thinking about offense, I have to admit that I'd be equally disappointed if our staters weren't going past the 4th inning or if our bullpen was blowing leads but there's something especially painful to watch about a team that can't score. It's not just inadequate, it makes you feel that your team is impotent and pathetic. I'd have a lot more hope going into the bottom of the 9th down 6-8 than if it was 0-2.

And everything that happens in a low-scoring game weighs a ton. An umpire calls a high strike a ball on a 2-2 count. The pitcher, who's been brilliant the whole game hangs a curveball. 0-2. And you somehow knew we weren't going to be able to overcome that.

The Braves play this afternoon, the Mets at night on ESPN. The lead, once 10 1/2 games, might be completely gone by then. :oops::(
